The 16th Annual Advanced Patent Law Institute is coming to you virtually this year! While we will miss being at the United States Patent and Trademark Office this spring, we've developed this year's program to make the most of your experience with us online. Spanning three afternoons, the program continues to offer a unique opportunity to hear from USPTO senior staff, leading practitioners, academics, and members of the federal judiciary on the latest developments in patent law.
Program is subject to change.
All times are Central Time Zone.
